Grecnsburah, Pa. Noe. 12. The following singular escape of a child, while it should sene as a caution to parents, may, perhaps, he roisidered u providential interference. In the town of Livermore, a horse attached to a cart took fright, and at the top of his speed rah up a back alley to main street, then down the same, when he crossed iiieo&pai bridge, and reached a place where a number of small children were employed at their ttjtttisements. A child, aged about sixteen months, belonging to Mr. William J. Hall, sitting on a wheel-barrow at the time. The liprse, when in full speed, sprang orer the little innocent-one of the wheels of the cart canght the handles of the barrow, when both broke, and the child was tossed as much as ten feet in the air—the cart body was thrown ass, and the horse continued his course With the remnant of the cart, and without further interruption. The child fell on his breast across the axle tree, and the wheel ran down a hill for at least two rods, when the child fell off, without haying received any injury. 1 '■ Extraordinary Combat.—-My attention was suddenly diverted! by a splashing in the water below me. It was a comabt between a seal and two monstronsly large sharks. Never did I witness any thing half so terrific. I could scarcely breathe from anxiety. The commotion in the water was very great, and the long tails of the sharks were at intervals four or five feet out of the water, making muscular efforts, and -fiotuio ing with ferocious energy; to keep the seal from rising to the surfase. Presently, their tails entierly disappeared, and in an instant more the ruffled surface of the water, Where the combat had taken place, discolored with blood, bubWfftg up from below ; and a perfect Smoothness succeeded which left oaly a trace of where the fight had been. Two of the crew told m* that they also had witnessed \the fight, and afterwards saw poor seal crawl out of the water upon the rocks; with his entrails hanging out. Judging from the appearance of the sharks swimming round the island close to shore, I should imagine they cannot be short of thirty feet long. They look like whales; and 1 took especial care neither to venture into the water myself, nor suffer any of our men to do so. —Hardy's Travels in Mexico. fcrTO THE PUBLIC S THE Subscriber wishes to infoim his old friends, and the public generally, that he has opened a HOUSE or Entertainment, the sign of the White Hall, immediately East of the Court House, on Main Street, Centreville, Indiana, where he has prepared, at considerable expeoee, to accommodate travellers, and all others who may call on him.

PROSPECTUS or THE LouisviUe Daily Journal, TO BE EDITED BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE. WE do not deem it neoessary to say muoh with regard to tba principles upon which the Journal will be condnoted; for we believe our views of the more interesting topics of the day, far from being peculiar, are those of a great majority of our fellow citisens. We are in favor of the speedy extinguishment of the public debt. Wo wish the leaat farthing to be paid, as soon as it can be don* consistently with other important interests ; but wc have no respect for that policy, which, ondor pre tence of hastening the payment a few week*, or a few months, would impose a permanent check on the prosperity of the country. We shall support the Constitution of the United Slates, according to what wo believe to be its true spirit We do not believe the framers of that instrument ever designed to bind the ' country hand and foot, aod prevent it from con 1 suiting its own best interests. We bold, that the general government has a right, under tba constitution, to impose such duties on foreign importations, and extend such encouragement to works of internal improvement, as are called for by the greatest good of the greatest number of Unpeople. This right belongs at present to i the general government, and it cannot be taken i away but by a power co-existent with that which gave it The claim that a state, “in its | sovereign capacity,” has a right to “nullify” the law* of the union, is almpst as absurd as the claim of a county, to the right of abrogating the law* of the state. * 6 We are members of the old school of demoo--1 rac J; we believe in the power of all men, whether wise or ignorant, to govern themselves; and we look confidently forward to the time, whan they will exercise that power, unawed by the ■ edicts of despots, or the wiles of demagogues. Those art* of intrigue, which, even in the most virtuous communities, are too often pat in requisition to make the many the political vassals of the few, shall over find in us a determined opposition- Still we are not of the opinion that the majority oan do no wrong; it might be shown, without going (hr baok in search of historical records, that a majority, even of an enlightened community, may, in a season of un* doe excitement,' perpetrate deeds that tend directly to the subversion of their own dearest privileges; bnt the true remedy of such evils is not to be sought for in the adoption of a monarchy, bat in an increased diffusion of knowledge and virtue, and especially in the wisdom that come* from experience.

We bold it ioconsistent with the genius of s Republic, that the officers of government should use their official power to reward or punish any oitiEco for his political preferences. The public functionary who uses the people’s money for the gratification of his private partialities or resentment, it, in the sight of God and honest men, at mnob a “peculator” as if he squandered the contents of the national treasury upon his private equipage. 7 1 Tor the next Presidency of the United States, we shall support Henrt Clay, steadily, and without a shadow of torning. We wish to see the highest office in the country bestowed npon Mr. Clay, not merely because bis political serT‘ OM .®* re ® e ® n greater, and more meritorious than those of any other American statesman of the present day, bat because he is a ma „ of soond views and uncompromising integrity. We wish it, because we nre convinced there is no other man in the nation, who, with a voice like him, could say to the tide of corruption, that has been sweeping over our institutions, “here shAll tby proud waves be stayed.” We with iL C aT7.l be,, ‘ OVe ‘ ha ‘ he “ th *> People’s choice, apd that the eyes of millions are now tn mod to him as his conntry’s deliverer. Finally, we shall be faithful to our fkixnds s whenever those whom we esteem, and wlm.ro concocted mi tb ns bv ties of political fellowship, lnst e<rort of onr strength shall be made in their defenoe. tor further informatioo with regard to the character of our. paper, the public are referred to the paper itself, which we hope to render interesUng and useful the politician, the merchant, the agriculturalist, the mechanic, and the man of literatnre. * CONDITIONS.
